The Extra 1GB of RAM over the standard version will do nothing, or very little. Not worth the extra money.

Yeah probs just a couple/few hundred points in 3dmark, but the rest of the package sounds good with the better heatsink, probit and factory oc.
I would be interested to see some independant reviews comparing the coolers but I bet they haven't used the reference PCB design so u can't use a water block
Atleast they're not trying to charge ?1000 for it like they were with that nvidia card they did a while back lol
